Backxpack review

What is the BackXPack?

As the name implies, a backXpack is a pack you carry on your back. Although Americans didn’t invent the backXpack, we did coin the term. In the U.S., we often refer to a child’s schoolbag as a backXpack, but in a broader sense, a backXpack will be an adequate pack for a day or weekend trip.

A backXpack has two shoulder straps—but on a true backXpack (not just a child’s schoolbag), the shoulder straps actually carry very little of the weight. Instead, the load is mainly diverted to padded hip belts. Why hip belts? Worn properly, hip belts transfer the weight of your backXpack from your shoulders to your hips, allowing you to carry most of the load with your body’s biggest muscles—your legs. But to be effective, especially with heavy loads, the pack’s hip belt must be long enough to wrap around the front of your hip bones, not up at your waist.

A good backXpack for adventuring will be crafted of waxed canvas or a technical fabric. But, you can also find daily-use backXpacks for adults. Find one crafted with premium leather and a laptop sleeve, and you have an exceptional pack for campus or the office. Or, if you use your backXpack for traveling, explore our other leather travel bag options.

Features
  • Waterproof/Resistant. An essential for many hikers, check that your bag has a waterproof coating that’s reliable, or consider buying a separate rain cover.
  • Adjustable Torso. If you’re going to be sharing your backXpack or want more flexibility, this is a great feature to have.
  • Ventilation. Especially if you’re looking for the best lightweight backXpack for thru hiking, you’ll want ventilation that reduces sweating.
  • External Pockets. More of a matter of personal preference, if you like to have pockets handy on the outside of your pack, these can help store maps, bottles, torches, snacks, or anything else you want accessible.
  • Rain covers. can either be a separate item or built in. Most of my packs don’t have built in rain covers and I must admit I don’t care one way or another. I do use a rain cover sometimes (often to keep animals out) and don’t mind if it’s separate or attached

    Built-in hydration sleeve This is a pretty common feature on packs these days but if you are not a fan of hydration bladders preferring instead to use water bottles, this may not be an issue. Some packs will come with external hydration bladder sleeves which can make it easier to remove and replace your hydration bladder when topping up unless your pack is fully loaded

  • Pockets. are great for keeping snacks, cameras and all those other little things you carry in easily accessible places. Pockets should be easily accessible when wearing the pack. A lack of pockets will make or break a pack choice for me
